The Solstice is when the Sun enters the zodiac sign of Cancer. It marks the beginning of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. It happens sometime today for most of the earth. Is summer about vacations—an escape from the drudgery of the status quo—or is it a time when you can see what you are nurturing in and for yourself? The
Jupiter entered Cancer less than two weeks ago after the analytic year in Gemini. Things were happening, but it all felt at a distance. Immediately, we felt the two big guardians at the gate… Saturn and Neptune waiting. One to make things feel real—that what is happening in the news could also be happening to you. A need to protect
During the Aries Moon is a great time to feel like using the new energy of Mars in Virgo, that I described in yesterday’s post. Over the course of each month, the moon nudges us to attend to each area of our lives as it traverses all the Zodiac signs. Moon in Aries motivates you to take action. Mars rules
Today marks a significant change that will last through the first week of August. Mars was back and forth between Leo and Cancer since the beginning of the year, a mix of action based on either ego or what one believes will make them more secure. Mars in Virgo has a different vibe. What is right for ME, shifts to what
Notice as the Moon slips into Pisces. The world has been in a frenzy as the Moon passed through the Saturn ruled signs along with some major disruption from Mars square Uranus and the Jupiter square Saturn. Look at the news for updates on those. This month we are looking at the subtle impact of the Moon on your attention,
We are in the throes of Saturn-ruled moons, just finishing three days of the Moon in Capricorn and moving into a few days of the Moon in Aquarius. I warned you that the prominent energy of Mars square Uranus, going exact tomorrow, and a Jupiter-Saturn square will impact how you experience these transits. The Capricorn Moon focuses on fixing old problems and
Is your attention dominated by your sensed environment or what you see on a screen? Our senses are our tools to interface with the world. They remind us of what is real, rather than telling us a story. This is how our brains are supposed to work. What do you see, touch, hear, smell, and taste? How is this different from what we
Continuing this month’s journey around the zodiac, how do you feel now the moon has moved to Sagittarius? The full moon today magnifies this feeling so you might be noticing others (or yourself) acting on impulses without thinking of the consequences. Dramatically opposite of the introspective Scorpio vibe, the Moon in Sagittarius pushes your attention outward with a sense
Today, Jupiter moves into Cancer. This is a big deal. The seeds you sow this year could sprout like an apple tree gone wild, leaving you with so many apples you’re giving them away to neighbors. Focus on Cancer’s sphere: your non-work life, the hidden star of your existence. Like a good bed, it’s foundational. Science backs this—lousy sleep tanks
Which energy is more important? Mercury in Gemini conjunct Jupiter, or later in the day when Mercury moves into Cancer for the next month? Astrology is about the flow of energy available to us at any time, should we choose to use it. I am reading Iain McGilchrist’s book The Matter with Things – which describes how we humans have two
